Parents need to know that this nature series presents animals in their natural habitat, doing what comes naturally -- including fighting, hunting, and mating. Some moments are particularly gripping, such as when a baby animal dies. Because of the show's tendency to personify animals by giving them names and describing their actions with human terminology, the losses can feel particularly painful, which might make it too much for very young viewers.
